BART PD to wear on body cameras

The policy is still being finalized for BART PD officers to wear on-body cameras.

Sometime this year, all BART police officers will begin wearing cameras to record their actions.

The policy is in the process of being finalized, but Shante Barnes, a training specialist officer, said that trainers travelled to Arizona in mid-October to study proper usage and video storage of the camera. After the official launch date each BART patrol officer will be assigned a camera to wear on duty, and once they engage with a person they must turn on the camera to record their actions.
